Answer:
it's 9 I just took this assignment
1/4
There are 100 pence in a pound, so 2 pounds is 200 pence. 50 is 1/4 of 200.
X^2/(x- 9 = 81/(x - 9)
This is the equation for which you want the solution.
Multiplying both sides of the equation by (x - 9) we get
x^2(x - 9)/(x - 9) = 81(x - 9)/(x - 9)
So the (x - 9) goes out from both the denominator and the numerator and then the simplified equation becomes
x^2 = 81
x ^2 = (9)^2
x = 9
So the value of the unknown variable x comes out to be 9.
